Well, though I enjoyed the BBC version it's not my favourite. I prefer the one with Kate Beckinsale for two reasons. Firstly, the excruciating moments have been toned down and I think they should be there, but also I just love Mark Strong as Mr Knightley, he is just exactly how I imagined Mr Knightley to be right down to the gorgeous voice. Jonny Lee Miller is very likeable but he doesn't quite have the gravitas and presence that I think Mr Knightley would have. So on that basis I will go Clueless. I haven't got round to buying Clueless yet, and this will give me an excuse too :)

I have yet to see the Beckinsale version in full! I really need to track it down. =)And you know, I have never been a big Jonny Lee Miller fan. EVER. I don't know if I was holding Edmund Bertram against him for a decade, or what, but he just never did it for me, and I was so disappointed to see him cast as Knightley -- but he eventually won me over, and I don't think I find him quite so off-putting as a result. lol!

I do love that version (as a personal connection, which I'll talk about during AIA), but it's not on Netflix, Prime or Hulu, so I had to rule it out. I can't really have a watch-along without giving a fairly easily accessible way for people to watch along. Had to rule out the Beckinsale version for the same reason.

I believe I own them all. I may have some on VHS which if I do I need to find the DVD versions. I love all the Emma but my least favorite which will probably get me a lot of hate is Paltrows version. I like it just not as much as the others.

About Me

Fun-loving swf, likes long walks on the beach -- no, wait, that's not right. I don't really know what I want to do with my life at the moment, but I know it will involve books. I am full of contradictions, which I love, and I fully intend to be an eccentric old lady, with cats and sticky hard candy and pink hair. Also, I don't take myself too seriously, which translates as 'I am an utter dumbass,' and that's just the way I like it.
If you're interested in having me review your book, contact me at mbradenwf@gmail.com Please note: my tastes lean heavily toward urban fantasy, paranormal romance, magical realism, sci-fi, and fairy tale retellings. I have events dedicated to fairy tales, Halloween and Jane Austen, and will generally accept books in those categories. And I DO NOT accept e-books.
